It’s absurdist. Like I said, file compression is ubiquitous and the reason for that is because of its undeniable utility. Thinking you can avoid file compression by being rich (by buying more storage space or network throughput) has likely NEVER occurred to anyone. I posted this joke on a comment about someone not understanding file compression at a basic level i.e. not even knowing how to use basic tools to get uncompressed files from compressed ones. The joke is taking this one step further from the perspective of someone so out of touch with the tech, that they’d rather not learn and choose the absolute worst attitude possible.

Yeah, I wasn’t being serious. You don’t have to convince me file compression is ubiquitous, but I appreciate your dedication to educating people. :)
20??? I’m pretty sure if you scroll down past 5 results you’re already in the top 1% of users doing so.
File compression is for poor people.
I call everyone “bro” and “dude” but only in the passive or collective sense. I don’t say “my wife is a dude” but I do say “dude, what’s up?” to my wife. It’s just how I talk and she doesn’t care.
But also I refer to people how they want to be referred to.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are popular, iconic, and must-listen songs from where you are from?
2·26 days agoMy favorite Australian song right now is I HATE RICH CUNTS by MUDRAT.
Edit: I also really like Tom Cardy. If you’re a fan of comedic music, at least check out Big Breakfast.
I also find it a bit strange that people are not allowed to express their dissatisfaction with the current system without having perfect reasoning as to why AND a holistic solution to their situation. I think you should be able to say “I’m not sure this is working” without also having the burden of being the architect of the future world laid upon you.
